The Cow Tree of South America,

This plant 1.-THE Brosium Galacto-
dendron OF botanists), is allied to the
brea1 fruit, and is thus described by
Humboldt, when coming to the home
of this curious tree in his travels:
"On the sterile declivity of a rock
there. grows a tree whose leaves are
dry and tough, whose thick woody
roots can hardly penetrate the stony
soil. For several months OF the year
no refreshing rain moistens it's foliage,
the branches seem dead and shrive!ed.
But make an incision in the stem, and
sweet nourishing milk flows from it..
At sunrise this vegetable spring is the
richest; then the negroes and the ma
tives come from all sides, provided
with large vessels to collect the milk,
which turns yellow and thickers on
the surface. Some empty their vessels
at once under the tree, others take
the milk to their children. One seems
to see the establishment OF shepherd
who distributes the milk to his herds. +"

The Rights of Beekeepers.

Apropos to the articles that have
preceded this, to wit. "bees not nui.
sance," the subject OF a beekeeper's
rights naturally arises. Among bee.
keepers throughout the United States
and Canada, much discussion has
been provoked lately over this sub.
iect. Considerable agitation in our
ranks has, in tact, been caused by the
disagreeable fact that law suits have
been instituted against beekeepers,
and that beekeepers' union has been
formed for the illegal protection OF such.
1t is interesting, therefore, to know
what rights beekeepers do possess in
common with kindred pursuits. No

She turned from them, waved her hand,
and put Brown Bess into canter; and the
Colonel and Percy, seeing that she would
not take them further, went back through
the farm gate, and up the valley.
Silence had fallen upon them both.
Percy was exhausted by the high spirits of
the day, and was in mood TO be confden

TIE Colonel was thinking Of him, and
thinking OF himself, and wondering. with a
vague sense of uneasiness, whether every
thing would come right in the end.

A CORRESPONDENT OF the Michigan
Farmer tried painting his pear trees
with red lead and linseed Oil, filling up
the cracks, giving each tree two coats
of paint. He did this to prevent
blight, and the trees so coated have
been free from blight, while trees not
painted are dying. Such remedies,
however, should be tried with caution
Kerosene oil will kill peach trees, and
some kinds of paint containing that

A PLANT has been discovered in
Northern India, Asia, called Withania
coagnlans, the seeds OF which contain
g. ferment similar to that obtained
from the mucous membrane of the
stomach of animals. The ferment can
be- easily and cheaply extracted from
the seeds, and can be preserved in So
lutions the same as rennet. Exten.
sive experiments are now being made
with this plant in England, and it is
thought that it will soon become a
formidable competitor with rennet in
cheese making.
RAW bone has proved by analysis to
contain every part of an egg-white,
yelk, and, OF course, shell. 1t should
be constantly kept in q special place
in the pen or apartment OF laying
hens, as they will consume large guam
titles OF it, and it goes chiefly to egg
production. Granulated is the best
form in which to place it before adult
fowls, and in this shape it keeps fresh
longer than when ground into meal.

ents in the composition OF most OF the
"egg foods" in the market.

Light and Heavy HAY,

In the various rules TOT estimating
the amount Of hay in bulk not enough
difference is allowed for the variation
in weight depending on the condition
when cured, the exposure to rains and
other causes. The same sorts will
have much less weight in proportion
to bulk after being dried out by cold
winter. Hay that has been bleached
by long exposure to rains will always
be light in weight, and be proportion
ately less valuable than even its weight
would indicate. The soluble juices
which give hay ics greatest value have
been washed out by rains, leaving an
undue proportion of woody fiber.
There is, besides, a considerable varia-
ton in the original constituents of
grass and hay, depending on the char
acter OF the soil on which it is grown.
Farmers on wet, mucky and over
flowed land complain that their large
crops OF hay do not pan out well when
brought to the weighing scales. Tim
othy grown on such soil has coarse,
hollow stems, with smaller proper
ton of leaves. Such soils are often
deficient in mineral fertilizers, and a
dressing OF phosphate when the
land is seeded makes the crop better
and the hay richer and beaver. Still
this coarse hay is salable and does
not exhaust thesoil as does hay grown
on upland. Tnis may be one reason
why the bulk Of hay sold is grown on
low, mucky and overlooked lands

Planting Seed on the Snow.
Some farmers SOW their grass seed
on the snow, trusting to the even dis.
tribution thereof by the downward
tendency of water and the use of the
farm roller for covering after the frost
has finished upheaving the soil, says
the Philadelphia Record, but it is
| doubtful If the practice of sowing clo-
yer and other grass seeds so early in
the season is the proper mode. AL.
though such seeds do not easily lose
vitality, yet there is damage done by
the cold, and the hungry birds do not
miss the opportunity to take their
share, while the proper "catch" large
ly depends upon the condition OF the
soil.
1t has been demonstrated that
when the harrow is used over the
growing wheat early in the spring, the
result is beneficial, and it is when the
wheat is narrowed that the grass seed
should be sown, if grass is to follow q
grain crop. 1t is important that the
seeds be covered, and if the field be
narrowed there will be less loss oil
seed and greater chances for good
stand. As an application of nitrate
OF soda on wheat in the spring pushes
it forward very rapidly it soon reaches
! sufficient height to shield the young
clover from the extreme heat OF the
sun, while the clover will at the same
time make sufficient growth better to
endure the warm weather. The har.
row may also be usefully employed to
mix the fertilizer with the soil at the
same time.
The ground upon which the seed il
to be sown deserves more attention
than the grain crop, the grass seed OF
the mode Of cultivation, for if the
grass crop beintended as permanent
| pasturage it must not be overlooked
| that weeds will spring up to compete
with the grass, and for that reason
the ground must be very clean. 1t is
best, therefore, that the wheat croI
to be grown should be on land that
was previously IN corn, as the extra
cultivation required for corn better
prepares the land not only for wheat
but for the grass which is to follow
